Coaching Hadl's first love
By GENE MYERS
Sports Writer
Somewhere in the crevices of his mind,
new offensive coordinator John Hadi
always knew he one day would be a coach at
Kansas.
He knew it in 1960 when he was KU's All-American halfback and again in 1961 as an All-American quarterback
He knew it when he was zinging passes to Lance "Bambu": Allwary and Gargen "Ghost" Garrison for the San Diego Chargers in the mid-1960s.
And he knew it during his last two years as a seldom-used backup in Houston.
"I all I ever intended to do was coach,"
"Had last week听 last."
"When I was drafted
I was shocked. I figured maybe I had two
laws, and then I'd finally start
coaching."
Hadd's two or three years stretched into—1-1 in San Diego, one year in half in Boston, one year in half in Houston. For 18 years, he also watched an athletic feet over their lives after foot
But not Hadi. He hopes to bring his poise to the Kansas team, on and off the field,.
"THE KEY is eliminating mistakes," the teacher says. "It looks like to play out our offense in practice and not to attitude of eliminating. That's what we try to drill into their minds—you can beat people who have a bad attitude."
That's the same outlook Had hopes KU's athletes will have in the student half of their lives.
"In the pro, gays just don't realize that one day it will all be over." Hadad said. "It was the best way we lived," we tell them this is how you do it and the smart ones do it. I became a smart one
Officially, Hadi joined the KU coaching staff last summer, but he was a common sight in the spring drills of head coaches Jack Mitchell, Pepper Rodgers and Don He also was a valuable recruter, often with many that coaches disliked. Hadi welcomes it.
"I ENJOY recruiting," Hadi said. "It's a challenge. You're up against the big Bight and Big Ten and everywhere else in the country.
"The value of my pro background varies from one person to another, we have never heard of me and others about me on their television screens. Usually it the linenies that don't know me and the ones who tell me."
But no one would think of Hadl as an al-OFL star if he had not turned down a first round draft bid by the Detroit Lions of the now-defunct Miami Dolphins in the new, then新real football league.
"Detroit talked about me being another Paul Hornung." Hadi said, "But I didn't want to be a halfback again. San Diego
Hall stepped off the bench during his second season in 1983 to lead the Chargers to a 45-24 victory over Boston in the AFL title game. The following season, Hall took over the starting reins, and the Chargers won their first AFC championship.
picked me in their third round but they offered to let me quarterback. I just didn't like to block back then.
"WE HAD FUN in the early days. We had plenty of talent and that's what it's all about. We never even had financial pro-credit. Our mom had money so we always got paid."
In 1964 and 1965, San Diego again went to the game title but lost to Buffalo 20-7 and 23-0. But Hadl led the league in passing in 1965.
Sid Gilman coached the Chargers through, their early years, while two future Hall of Famers, Justin Kelly and Travis Lewis, were assistants. And it is Phillips, the flamboyant coach of the Houston Osters (who are a key component of the team), were assistants.
"Like Bum Phillips, Don is great with people," he said. "Everybody likes them and everybody plays hard but intelligently. The object is to learn from each abber."
Hadi takes the same approach to coaching himself.
"I have a relaxed approach, too," he said. "Our staff is not made of yellers and screamers, but teachers. We try to be as smart as we can."
Outlook promising for swimmers
KU's women's swimming coach, Gary Kempf, has a hard time concealing his enthusiasm when he talks about his team. Kempf is an excellent keepcreeping into the conversation.
Those words could be used to describe the KU swim teams of the past five years. KU has won all five Big Eight championships since they were started for women in 1974.
This season probably will be no exception. With the top swimers returning from a team that placed 21th nationally, and some who could better be shoulder than last year, Kempt said.
"WE HAVE VERY few weaknesses," Kemp said. "We filled in our weak areas from last year with people that will come in next month. All we need is some work and experience."
Joining Sheehan are three talented juniors—Janet Lindstrom, Ern McMorrow and Lanny Shaffer.
One senior, three juniors and a sophomore represent the Jayhawks' returning strength.
Kempt he was looking for senior Maureen Sheehan to be a much-improved freestyle this season and to provide team leadership.
Kempf said three recruits—Mary Fitzgerald and Lynn Hicks, Little Rock, Ark., and Tammy Thomas, Lawton, Okla.—are yearly big contributions to this year's squad
Lindstrom was an All-American in two events last season. In Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women compete in the NCAA Division I and II leagues' freshly 12th and 100-yard freestyle.
McMorrow is the Jayhawks top sprinter. She won the conference 50-yard freestyle, and placed 20th in the same event at the national AIAW competition.
KEMPF SAID THE third returning junior, Lanny Shaffer, was "one of the top backstrokers in the country."
Heading the individual medley strength on the team is sophomore Diane Ellis. She won the 400-yard IM at the conference meet last season.
KU also will have a strong diving squad this year. Sophomores Lyman Blades, Paula Whener and Patty Mushberger all placed at the conference meet last season.
They will be coached by first-year diving coach Ron Walker, who also will coach men divers.
"We'll have water work until the middle of September. Then we'll have dry land
Diane Wood, a state diving champion from Kansas City, Kan., will join the team.
According to Kempf, most team members have worked out with AAU clubs during the summer and will return to KU in good condition.
"THEY KNOW THEY'D better come back in good shape," Kempf said. "Swimming is a year-round sport."
work–running, lifting weights and flexibility exercises. It takes a lot of work. By December, they should be swimming as fast as they did at the end of last year."
Although KU is the obvious conference favorite, Kempf said he expected Oklahoma, Missouri and Nebraska to be strong teams.
"Being champions is very much to our advantage," Kempf said. "We know how to win.
"I feel we have the potential to prove in the top 15 in the country. But we're going to have to produce and work hard."
DESPIE THE RIGOROUS training, team members had a 3.1 grade point average last semester, which makes Kempi even prover.
"Our utmost goal is to get grades where they should be." Kempt said. "Our second goal is self-improvement. And if winning along, we tell our girls to take it and run."
Kempl also spoke enthusiastically about the merger of the men's and women's athletic departments.
"I am very pleased with the merger," Kemp said. "The support we've received will allow us to continue to be a top flight program.
"There is a trend to up-grade our programs and it has just been excellent." Kemp will be assisted by former swimmer Cathy Call.
